ProgHippie Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Dear all I had SL running beautifully for over a month, until i trashed my own install due to stupidity (yes, stupidity.) Anyway. So I reinstalled SL with the method that perfectly worked for me a month ago, but it just doesn't seem to work anymore. Although I am almost 100% sure that I did everything the exact same way as before, I can't get it to run anymore, I always get a kernel panic. A shot of the panic is found here (couldn't add attachement) http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/9827/p1080875.jpg Any help will be HIGHLY appreciated. Asus P5W E6600 Dual Core Nvidia 9800GT using chameleon RC1 with snow leo support (boot file) and own kexts in /Extras, compiled with kextutility EFI string Please guys... I want my snowkittie back!

Just using KextUtility should fix the permissions, but if for some reason not goto Disk Utility and find you volume then click "Repair Permissions". If that doesn't work reinstall Snow Leopard.
